Bug Description
Hello, guys.
When the text becomes long enough and there are sections, figures, and tables of the half-page height, then the last figure or table may disappear. A separate page appears instead, containing a few garbage symbols like `,ы,' and nothing else.
This bug is reproducible on my text in a latex-latex-
If to add a few paragraphs of some Lorem ipsum somewhere in the text, to any place, then the problem disappears. It looks like the compiler can't handle placing large figures and tables on the pages.
I cannot show the bug with a short example, although I'll try again.
Unfortinately, I can't provide you the text that I'm currently working on, since this is an unpublished article.
In sum, I can list some of the factors that contribute to the bug:
1. At least two figures and/or tables. They should not be too small.
2. Presence of the bibliography, either inline or as '.bbl'.
3. A situation where the compiler must decide, where to break the page or not.
This never happened on Debian 10, and on any [stable] Ubuntu <20.04.

I have made a minimal working example of the bug. See attach.
It's working with just a single `pdflatex paper'.
As seen, it crashes on the paper break.
